Correct answer
Prevent wheel lock and help preserve steering control.
ABS regulates braking pressure to prevent wheel lock and help preserve the ability to steer. It is not the brake booster that reduces pedal effort. It does not guarantee that control can never be lost: speed, grip and road conditions still affect the result. With working ABS, follow the manufacturer’s braking instructions and do not pump the pedal.
